correct.

under rating is as damaging as over rating.

charge rates at 15-25% of AH capacity is recommended. 10% is borderline. ie, 100ah , round numbers here, such as a group 31 deep cycle would rather be charged between 15-25amps than it would at 10 amps. Anything less will not only take forever, time-out a charger but will simply not be aggressive enough of a rate to prevent/break up sulfation
